Progress in Charge Transfer in 2D Metal Halide Perovskite Heterojunctions Review #WorldResearchAwards

Image
Introduction Metal halide perovskite ( MHP )-based heterojunctions have emerged as a transformative platform in optoelectronic materials research due to their layered crystal structures, tunable band gaps, and outstanding light–matter interaction. When combined with two-dimensional (2D) materials , these heterojunctions enable precise control over interfacial charge transfer , which is essential for high-performance optoelectronic devices. Understanding the fundamental mechanisms governing carrier generation, separation, and recombination at these interfaces is therefore a central research focus. Charge Transfer Mechanisms at MHP/2D Interfaces At the core of MHP-based heterojunction performance lies interfacial charge transfer. Band alignment between MHPs and 2D materials such as graphene , MoS₂, and WS₂ facilitates efficient electron–hole separation. Type-II band structures are particularly effective, allowing electrons and holes to migrate into different layers, thereby extendin...

Practical test-time domain adaptation for industrial condition monitoring #worldresearchawards

Image
  Introduction Machine learning has become a cornerstone of modern industrial analytics , particularly in condition monitoring systems that rely on sensor data for fault detection and health assessment . Despite strong performance during development, many models suffer significant degradation when deployed in real-world environments due to domain shift , where operational conditions differ from training settings. This challenge motivates the need for adaptive, practical, and deployment-ready learning frameworks that can sustain reliability without continuous manual intervention. Domain shift challenges in industrial condition monitoring Industrial condition monitoring systems operate under highly dynamic environments involving varying loads, speeds, sensor types, hardware configurations, and environmental noise. These variations induce domain shifts that violate the assumptions made during model training, leading to increased false alarms or missed fault detections. Traditiona...
